+# Challenge 035

+# TASK #1
+# Contributed by Paul Johnson
+# Write a program to encode text into binary encoded morse code.
+# Pay attention to any changes which might need to be made to the text to
+# make it valid morse code.
+#
+# Morse code consists of dots, dashes and gaps. It can be encoded in binary
+# in the following fashion:
+#
+# dot: 1
+# dash: 111
+# intra-character gap: 0
+# character gap: 000
+# word gap: 0000000
+# An intra-character gap is inserted between the dots and dashes in a character.
